Our students have been working very hard on their first-ever big-screen appearance in the NDPeeps’ Virtual Choir MV! 🤩 MINDS Lee Kong Chian Gardens School (LGS) students Shiraini Belle Osorio Singh, Muhd Firas Bin Muhd Faris, and Muhammad Anaqi Syah Bin Abdul Nasir had less than a month to prepare for their performance. They spent hours memorising the songs, learning melodies, and rehearsing with students from other schools. They were very happy and proud of their performance — and so are we! They can’t wait to see their virtual performance showcased on National Day 🇸🇬 The pre-recorded performance will be broadcast during the National Day Parade celebrations at the Padang, and on television. Keep your eyes peeled to catch our little stars shine 🌟 #sgminds #specialneeds #intellectualdisability #NDP #NDP2024
